Jets vs Oilers Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Oilers to take down the Jets at home. With the moneyline currently at -166, I’m placing my bet on the Oilers straight-up.

For a puck line prediction, our preference is the Oilers to secure a win and cover. Anticipate the Oilers to win this one by multiple goals over the Jets.

If you’re looking at the the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will stay below that threshold, and we strongly suggest placing a bet on the under.
